First of all, ensure that the dough you are mixing with is in line with the machine production, is a dough, non-stick mixing bucket, and the hardness is appropriate. That is, it is not easy to deform when held in the hand after being rubbed into a strip and flattened. Cut the strips without sticking to the knife, round forming without loosening, and the ribs should be sufficient.

Secondly, before starting the machine, do not put tapioca starch in the dry powder box of the machine, but put glutinous rice flour to prevent the material from slipping and sticking to the noodle wheel.

Set the cutting knife speed to about 45HZ when starting up, and use the pressing speed to match the cutting knife speed.

Make the volume of each slice equal to the total volume of all the balls that are rounded into pellets. If the pressing speed is too fast, the rounding into an ellipse or blockage will cause all the materials to be discharged to the waste port. The pressing speed is too slow, and the balls are round or half-filled.
